对于全球老龄化的人口来说，燃料贫困是一个关键问题。更长的供暖/制冷要求加上收入的下降，造成了一个亟需关注的问题。一种解决方案是部署技术，帮助老年用户了解他们的能源使用情况，并授权他们采取措施，使其更具成本效益和效率。这项研究对广泛的能源监测和家庭自动化产品进行了正式的人体工程学分析。使用高级任务分析来指导产品遍历，然后使用工具包方法来得出进一步的见解。调查结果揭示了一些严重的可用性问题，这些问题阻碍了这些产品成功接触到重要的目标人群以及相关的节能和加剧贫困的结果。设计原则和实例是从研究中提炼出来的，使从业者能够将潜在的研究转化为高质量的设计工程解决方案。
Fuel poverty is a critical issue for a globally ageing population. Longer heating/cooling requirements combine with declining incomes to create a problem in need of urgent attention. One solution is to deploy technology to help elderly users feel informed about their energy use, and empowered to take steps to make it more cost effective and efficient. This study subjects a broad cross section of energy monitoring and home automation products to a formal ergonomic analysis. A high level task analysis was used to guide a product walk through, and a toolkit approach was used thereafter to drive out further insights. The findings reveal a number of serious usability issues which prevent these products from successfully accessing an important target demographic and associated energy saving and fuel poverty outcomes. Design principles and examples are distilled from the research to enable practitioners to translate the underlying research into high quality design-engineering solutions.
